LOCATION I did not favor the location. As a tourist to Paris, it seemed a bit out of the way from other attractions. However, I am happy I made the hike. DECOR Beautiful displays! Just the feel of being in the shop gives you a bit of nostalgia. The desserts are absolutely gorgeous. Definitely a plethora a great gift options. SERVICE The service was average. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. Because there are soooo many things to choose from here, I kind of wish there was someone who would kind of walk you through what is good, what's popular, and what is not so great. You kind of have to hope for the best, which is nerve wrecking because this place is not cheap. DESSERT I ordered a set of macaroons and a bunch of eclairs. I would say that the macaroons were very very delicious but a little too sweet for me. Then again, I am not one with a huge sweet tooth. Great when paired with a cup of tea which you can also order there. My favorite macaroon flavors were: Pistachio, Lemon (Citron), and Raspberry (Framboise). The Chocolate was pretty decent as well. I did not really take to the eclairs. They wee a little bit disappointing. They weren't bad, just not as good as I expected them to be. And because they are so pricey, they were definitely not worth the cost. The raspberry (framoise) eclair was pretty good. I only tried one pastry, Millefeuille Vanille. It was very delicious. But, again, I expected more from such a well known dessert shop. read more

Amazing! This is my 4th time in Paris. And I wish I've know this place before! The service is great (which is rare for Europe) and the food tastes as good as it looks. With so many tourist traps in this city it's hard to eat well. Their salmon and veggie quiche was the best I've ever had in my life, so light and yummy! The chocolate eclair we had was delicious too and we tired some clove bread crumbs there which were like an explosion of flavors in our mouths! Will go back there again tonight! :) read more

My aunt loves this place so we stopped over to buy her some macaroons. I personally like Laduree a bit more than here because i find their products to be on the slightly sweeter side. That is not to say this is not a great place to grab some sweets...but since I ran into Pierre Hermes work...I have never been the same read more

Most delicious and rich hot chocolate I have ever tried in my life. I lived in Paris for 6 months while studying abroad, Fauchon is as good as it gets. The pastries are amazing, as you would expect when in Paris. The service is great and tourist friendly, which is rare in Paris. I suggest a chocolate eclair and a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. This is a must see place for genuine french pastries! To order in french say "Un eclair et chocolat chaud" rock that french like a local! read more

The best Teas!! I always come for the tea and gifts! If you're a tea lover you'll be smart to smell the boxes and get 200 kg in bags and skip the pretty tins! Chocolates are yummy and so are the beautifully packaged Cocoa! There is a ton of coffee products there now! Try to go on your way back to your hotel or your arm will hurt lugging it around Paris! And def. don't forget to buys some bars of their chocolates like the No. 2 Milk Chocolate or the Coffee Chocolate! read more

The shop is cute and if you are looking to buy a gift for a foodie it can be an ideal place. We just purchased the macarons and the pink tissue against their bright green art peacock looking box is gorgeous. The macarons were not my favorite in Paris but they weren't bad either. They had cute mugs too with Fauchon on them. read more

Something one should do once while in Paris. Expensive, but the desserts were good. Had a chocolate eclair. Beautiful, but only okay tasting. The macaroons were really good (you pay for it). The only reason I'm giving them a 3 is due to the cost. read more

One of my favorite go to place to bring back gourment food from Paris either for myself or as souvenirs for friends and family. To be honest, the prices are steep but well worth it. They have a vast selection of foie gras and thank goodness the staff are willing to take the time to help me select the perfect ones. I wanted to buy so many things from there but my wallet dictates what I can get. There are two stores on the same street. One offers premade goodies like foie gras, jam, madeline cakes, and chocolates. The other store offers fresh pastries that are damn georgous to stare at and eat, exotic fruits and other freshly made goodies. When I left the store, I was armed with a few bag of goodies and munching on those cute tasty macaroons. read more

I bought an 11€ little cake here, which was expensive, but really, how many other chances are you going to get to enjoy an 11€ cake in Paris? The French treat their baked goods with extreme detail and passion, and it showed everywhere I went to, with Fauchon being no exception. The cake I had was Le Nez de Clown, which literally translates to the nose of the clown. It was something I had never seen before. A red ball siting on top of this almond cake-like base. It was exquisite and intricate, both in flavors and texture. Eating it was an adventure itself. This isn't something you rush through, but rather really enjoy and savor what you're tasting. Their macarons though, were disappointing- hard and flakey, with their only redeeming quality of being pretty to look at. Overall, Fauchon is a fun place to check out- it has a variety of sweets and savory goodies, and is spacious and welcoming. read more

Oh Nooooo! Why didn't I check yelp sooner?! :( I only tried their salad and mille feuille but did not try their macaron!!! read more

It started with a search for macarons and turned into one of my favorite lunches in Paris! If you can manage to make your way through all the chocolate, macarons, tea and other yummy treats in the store, you can slowly make your way towards Le Cafe Fauchon! You will not be able to miss all the beautiful pink and silver. They have a wonderful Prix Fixe menu. My personal favorite was the French Fish & Chips and the Foie Gras. So delicious. I am so glad the macarons led me to this gem cafe! I was even able to stock up on all types of goodies for later in the shoppe downstairs. read more

Love the food here...food is worth stars...service? Depends...the ladies and manager at the dessert counter offered the best service. On our first visit, we went to the self service "shop" and asked to be directed to where we can sit down for breakfast...we were sent across the street. Unfortunately, it was right when they stopped serving breakfast...the wait staff...phew...bad breath galore...he had to ask his supervisor who was rude (not so much to us, but his gestures from the other side of the room says all)... We decided to go back to the self service/take out "shop"...had a great time. We went back twice for dinner items and late breakfast... They are pricey, but worth every penny. A manager (lady) walked the floor to check on the display (fridge)...took out a single asparagus mousse left on a shelf just to make sure that the display looks perfect... read more

Faut pas être fauché quand on y va! Lol Par contre c'est super bon! J'ai une amie qui est fan et qui m'en amène souvent! Et pour le coup, j'ai jaaaaaaaaaamais été déçu par une de leurs pâtisseries! Aujourd'hui c'était le test des milles feuilles! On fait trop les critiques culinaires maintenant qu'on mets des avis yelp lol! Mais a la base le goût c'est hyper subjectif, donc imaginez que j'ai des goûts atroces... Enfin bref! J'ai tellement aimé le mille feuilles praliné que j'ai décidé de yelper ça! Puis de le twitter, puis de facebooker, puis de... Le mec 3.0 quoi! Non mais Allo! Sinon j'ai goûté la tartelette au chocolat: super bon quoique dans ce monde d'insatisfaction constante, je dirais que y'a légèrement un goût fort de chocolat. A tester pour les amateurs de sucré! Et manger proprement et pas comme des gros fauchon!! Hahaha excellent excellent.... read more

Excellent pastries, great selection, yummy-ish macarons although I STILL prefer McDonald's Cafe macarons for the price. I can't say that I am sophisticated and snobby enough to taste the difference between fancy macarons that are 1.20 each and cheaper and equally as delicious McDonalds ones. Why I don't love this place, is because I prefer Stohrer @ Les Halles and they have a problem with overcharging you here. We bought a number of pastries here, and each time they seem to tack on an extra 0.10 - 0.20 cents "by accident". Accident my ass! We aren't dumbass North Americans (far from it as BF grew up in Paris), who don't check the receipts and don't know how to do basic addition. This is not even a case of a price needing taxes added on afterwards. The taxes are INCLUDED! Anyway. We'll go here to eat if we are stuck in the area, but I am not gaga over it. read more

The pastries were out of this world! Beautiful and sooooo good! The eclair was so good that we swore we would never eat another one ever again. Super expensive prices. We balked at 20 euros for a pot of tea. One star off for a stiff, unfriendly typical Parisian service. So, bottom line: pastries are worth eating once or twice in your life good, but probably not to be repeated again. read more

Fauchon - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Paris, 75

Walking through the fine food section made me feel unworthy of the place I wished I felt more bourgeois haha. No it's not that funny. The caviar, foie gras and exquisite cheeses. Seriously it made me think about the filthy rich people who frequented these shops for such treats. The pastries section looked more harmless with cakes and pastries that looked innocently colorful. We settled for the bakery at the right timing for breakfast. My easily excited self was happy to see the various types of madeleines I asked for an orange and a chocolate one. They were heavy and average tasting. My bf was thrilled by the Cannele! The sales person seemed a little distracted and at one point she dropped a pair of thongs on the floor she picked it right up and threw back in the basket. The same thongs were used to pick up baked goods for the person next in line. The coffee was good but I was sure the small breakfast cost at least 20 euro. read more

so gaudy, but so good. it's one of those places where the taste actually matches the beauty of the food. ECLAIRS! they have so many flavors.. we got 2 to go. the vanilla is my FAVORITE. thought the noir chocolate was going to be but that vanilla ganache.... perfect crust. wow. amazing. get it. we also opted for a few mini croissants which we definitely enjoyed. not too buttery. i was tempted by other treats there like their "savory desserts' (read foie gras eclair, seafood platter).. but way too expensive. definitely a must visit shop to eat in or take away. read more

Great customer service and delicious foods. You cannot go wrong. Ask the girls in the back about their favorites for excellent recommendations. read more

Exquisite pastries and sweets. They also sell authentic pâtés and terrines which you can get with a crusty baguette for a satisfying picnic. Quintessentially Parisian. read more

Incredible edible eye candy here... definitely worth a visit if you think with your stomach rather than your brain, like moi, for example. The macarons are ridiculously expensive but a box of six is a way to splurge more frugally-- if nothing else for the pretty packaging! We actually found the taste of the macarons just to be average. The wine selection in the basement is awesome, and 1/2 bottles of Moet & Chandon were reasonably priced treats! read more

I got the champagne and raspberry eclairs and oh my gawd.. its sooo delectable! Perfect time to viait Fauchon as they have an eclair festival on till tomorrow! Binge in all the goodness :) read more

IMO the best Macarons are here. Look no further. Compared to Laudree & Pierre Herme these are still my favorite.

Brought home several kinds of chocolate and biscuits; all were excellent. A must visit if you are in Paris. Many stores in Paris carry Fauchon chocolate, but it seemed a bit less expensive here. read more

Many years ago my first time visited Fauchon in Paris was a small local family own food market. They have delicious Parisian pastries, fine wine, fruit jam, tea, preserve meat, and all kind spices. The near years I guess they had changed their market strategy, it is more international image. The store is definitely has fashionable looking than it used to. read more

We went for a light supper after a concert in the Madeleine and the restaurant upstairs from atop the store was a disaster: noisy, shrill in its "look how modern we are" decor. Plus, it smelled of cooked fish. We were told there was no table available, a blessing. We fled to the more graceful and hospitable Flottes, a few blks away. I'm sure the take away dept is superb. read more

This place has been our must visit since the first time we tried it many years ago. We just got home from Paris on Friday and went back several times during our stay. They have other delicious goodies besides just their pretty sweets. We usually get a great cheese and some salami, a loaf of fresh bread, a bottle of wine and take it back to our apartment and enjoy an evening in. You should definitely try it when you visit Paris and bring some treats back home from their store across the street as well. read more

God bless my bestie Tina who is an avid Yelper for the recommendation to this uber sexy bakery. I am giving it two stars because the service was horrible. Worse than most French establishments actually. The food was good, fresh and well executed. We each had salads for 25€. Neither weighed more than 300 grams dressing included. Small portions well groomed food. It's times like this that I realize how lucky we are in the states. I don't recommend the spot to anyone who knows me. If you're walking by and eager to prove me wrong, I dare you. The gentlemen sitting next to us have had to go to our waiter several times to get their own utensils, food even. We had to ask for bread twice (in Paris mind you where bread is the first thing to hit the table) no butter. Butter took two attempts as well. A bread plate took another minute. We did get free Chocolate with our cafe au lait. Splendid. read more

a showcase of fine food; picked up some goodies for pre-dinner apps in the apartment (i.e. pate, cheese, prosciutto, baguette); expensive but delicious; even if you can't afford it, it's still worth visiting for the visual stimulation read more

TERRIBLE. My friends birthday was on Feb 20th, so I decided to order some items to be delivered SPECIFICALLY on the 2Oth in Germany. So to be sure, I ordered days earlier to be sure even though there are several companies that even deliver next day. Anyway, the 20th arrived on Saturday and nothing arrived, no delivery attempt, nothing. I called the telephone number whereby it was closed. So I emailed Saturday 3x, no response, then Sunday, no response, then Monday, no response, well, not until I called the telephone number at 4pm. And even then, I spoke with someone who transferred the message. Then 5 minutes later I get a message my order is being processed. Which got a reply from me stating the obvious....and then she sends me a highly disorientated response to another complaint, but was obviously for another unhappy customer being it said, I responded on 12/21/2020. I was like what?? This lady is super unorganized, and I feel bad for that person if they are still discussing things from 2020, but it shows how unorganised this person is. Then I called the telephone to tell them this person handling orders is messing all orders up whereby the lady said she will transfer the message, but at this point I was frustrated and said this lady screwed up this special occassion which she did. So then after this call, 5 min. later I get an email sorry, the order is being processed and then blames customs procedures...So not only was the order not delivered, but it hasn't even left yet. She then blamed customs ...LOL..nothing worse than a person who can't except admitting they screwed up. Funny part is France and Germany are EU, so in reality there is no customs.....I guess she was thinking the package was going to the UK or USA? So with this FAUCHON gets 0 stars....Customers, if you order for a special occassion, this is definitely not the company to use....VERY ANNOYING, DISAPPOINTING, and a complete waste of time. read more

We randomly stumbled into Fauchon and found it to be amazing. We each had an eclair, which were delicious and rich! Next time we go back we would love to try more of their beautiful desserts! read more

Many people in this Fauchon location, makes it seem a little dirty because I saw parents with children that allowed their children to run around and touch the pastries... (turned me off). And the staff didn't seem very welcoming. The food LOOKED good though. The drinks were really expensive. read more

While in Paris I went on a search for the macaroons and while Fauchon did not provide the best macaroon the madeline's were insanely delicious! Fauchon is gorgeous- the pastry on display looks like art. Like I said the macaroon left something to be desired the texture was just off, the flavors not great. But, the madeline's oh my god were they good- perfect texture and sweetness. Savory items are serves as well but we didn't have the chance to taste- next time for sure! read more

Pastries were amazing looking, but the service is fairly snooty and the prices were ridiculous. We didn't buy anything there.

A hipper more modern take of the whole French patisserie. Pretty much the same items you can find at the Lauderee but I think Fauchon tastes a little better and they don't seem to skimp on the macaroon filling. I would definitely pick up items from here to take home for friends the next time I'm in Paris. read more

Came across the store while walking around, so decided to try out their macarons. Mediocre.

OK, first let me say this...this is a really pricey restaurant...and worth every penny. This is one of those French Restaurant's that is more of an experience. The level of manners of both servers and patrons is one that I don't possess, and yet at no time was I made to feel inferior. The food is so delicately artful, simple but unique, that it defies comparison except maybe to other restaurants in Paris. The decor is over-the-top super-cool modern and chic to the point of ridiculousness, but TOTALLY COMFORTABLE! The pastries are of a level that even my former pastry chef partner wasn't exactly certain how some of them were made exactly. People watching is spectacular here, from the table of 3 generations of French matriarchs to the table of riding-boot-wearing ladies-who-lunch. This IS an experience...not a meal! read more

Obsessed with our experience here. The patio is the cutest and the perfect place to take a break and enjoy some wine, charcuterie, and sweets. The food will having you craving to go back, and you really can't go wrong with the Eclairs. We picked up some chocolates, Jams, and biscuits as gifts. read more

Incredible pain au chocolat with Nutella. Almost makes up for subpar almond croissant. Espresso was good but pricey. read more

While we are in paris, my family is doing a macaron shoot out. We started at pierre herme and moved onto laudree then to fauchon. The macarons at fauchon were a TOTAL disappointment. the texture was terrible, the flavors were artificial, and they were just a disappointment. Save your pennies and spend them all at Pierre Herme. read more

This place is awesome. We just picked up some goodies to go, but everything looked so good . Can't wait to go back. Just walking through and looking at all of the fine food is a treat. A must see if visiting Paris. read more
